According to the Filipino folklore tradition, a mythical creature named Aswang inhabits the land, ready to prey on people. These myths seem to have come to life, ever since the “Punisher” Rodrigo Duterte took office as the country’s President, starting a violent national drug war. Breathlessly following the everyday struggle of a group of people whose life was radically affected by the regime, a shocking chronicle of state terror and systematic human rights violation unravels against the backdrop of the Manila slums.
